Do not understand the off reviews. Here's all the best stuff. This hotel was fantastic, although I only stayed B&B, but that was fabulous, everything cooked perfectly, freshly squeezed orange juice and the coffee was great! All the staff were very very helpful and friendly, could not do enough for the guests! All areas were pristinely clean, including in room maid service. All areas were adequate for the amount of guests in house, including pool and restaurant areas. All guests were treated equally whatever their nationality, and a high percentage of the guests were German, Dutch, Spanish. My room was lovely, the aircon was great, only annoyance was the dreaded Tourist Tax, it was quite hefty. Five minutes walk to a local Lidl, five minutes walk to the beach, five minutes walk to other local shops and restaurants. Two minutes walk to the bus stop, for the Alcudia Old Town, the bus takes approx 8 minutes and cost 3 Euros each way (which is the 40% discounted price for paying by bank card), then again a cab was quoted at around 8 Euros, so if there's more than 2 of you it would pay to get a cab each way. I did find the local restaurants a bit ambitious with their prices. Yes the bed mattresses were rather firm and the pillows too, but after reading reviews before I travelled out, I took a fleecy blanket, rolled it up and used it as a soft top, on top of my pillow. I got used to the firm mattress after a couple of nights - I slept like a log, 10 hours each night. I had a room overlooking the pool, outdoor snack bar and entertainment area. Although I did hear the music/entertainment, it did stop at 10 or 10.30pm. When I was ready to sleep I popped in my earplugs and never heard another thing. There was a HUGE mosquito problem which started around dusk each evening, BUT there were none at or near the hotel. Maybe the hotel treats its own drains and landscaping, but I did not get bitten at or around the hotel nor in my room at night. The mozzies were prolific and mostly around the beach area and the waterways, plus I got bitten whilst walking around the shops later in the evening. I went home after my 5 day stay here, with 20 plus painful bites, they really loved me :) I loved the Grupotel Port d'Alcudia.
